Opening with ‘Four Kicks’, it was four songs in before frontman Caleb Followill addressed the crowd, saying: “Thank you very much, we’re Kings Of Leon.”

Toasting the elated audience with a drink, Followill was clearly moved by the crowd’s reception, saying: “I’d just like to say what an honour it is to be playing not just New York City but Radio City. We’ve finally made it.”

Waving goodbye after ‘Trani’, the band then returned for an uplifting four-song encore.

“This has been my favourite show we’ve ever had in New York City,” Followill told the crowd, before finishing the set with ‘Slow Night, So Long’.
